Filming has begun for Us, BBC One’s four-part drama adapted by David Nicholls from his hugely popular novel of the same name.
Tom Hollander (Baptiste, The Night Manager) will be joined by Saskia Reeves (Luther, Shetland), Sofie Gråbøl (The Killing, Fortitude), Tom Taylor (Doctor Foster, The Dark Tower), Iain De Caestecker (Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D, The Fades) and Thaddea Graham (Curfew, The Letter for the King), with casting by Sarah Crowe. It is produced by Drama Republic and Bandstand Productions.
Douglas Petersen (Tom Hollander) is blindsided when his wife Connie (Saskia Reeves) tells him that she’s not sure she wants to be married to him anymore. Agreeing to still go on their planned family grand tour of Europe, Douglas vows to win back the love of his wife and repair his troubled relationship with their son Albie (Tom Taylor).
Reflecting David Nicholls' signature mix of humour and heartbreak, Us brings the Petersens' poignant and often hilarious story to life, taking viewers with them on their once-in-a-lifetime journey through some of the most beautiful cities in the world.
David Nicholls says: “It’s a huge thrill to see the novel come to life, and with such a wonderful cast and production team. We want to make something funny, touching and beautiful, to really explore marriage and family life, all against this incredible backdrop.”
Tom Hollander and Hannah Pescod say: “We are delighted to be working with Drama Republic and the great David Nicholls in bringing his beautiful novel to BBC One. The trials of the Petersens will strike a chord with many - a family tale for our times.”
Piers Wenger, Controller of BBC Drama, says: “We feel so honoured to be bringing David’s beautiful novel to BBC One and to have the brilliant Tom Hollander and Saskia Reeves playing the leading roles. We are thrilled to work with David and Drama Republic once again and also with Bandstand Productions on their debut drama for the BBC.”
Greg Brenman and Roanna Benn, Executive Producers for Drama Republic, say: “David Nicholls is a unique and rare talent who miraculously manages to intertwine profound emotion with full-on humour. This glorious adaptation has attracted an exceptional cast in Tom Hollander, Saskia Reeves and Sofie Gråbøl. We couldn’t be more excited to begin filming.”
Us is executive produced by Greg Brenman and Roanna Benn for Drama Republic, Tom Hollander and Hannah Pescod for Bandstand Productions, Jo McClellan for BBC One and David Nicholls. It is directed by Lisa Siwe (Temple, Modus) and distributed internationally by BBC Studios. Filming will take place in London, Amsterdam, Venice, Barcelona and Paris.
7.0/10。政治讽刺喜剧：彗星即将撞击地球灭绝全人类，面对这个噩耗两个美国科学家想尽办法将消息传播出去，但面对令人无语的社会却只是无能为力最终世界毁灭。整体笑点水平≤7.0（其中有不少和美国政治与新闻相关的门槛），把人类灭绝编成爆款歌来蹭热度那段属实蚌埠住。
基督教一直在倒计时，现代文化对着倒计时逆向行驶（形如本杰明巴顿里的荒凉感），而美国精神总以为自己是在奔跑（阿甘正传）。不过如果真有世界末日，应该是混杂着rick and morty 里的狂欢和《乡愁》里的宗教感。又，其实我们已经在这一天了，对每个人来说都必有一死，对人类命运来说前途未卜，不是么
「那美好的仗我已经打完了，应行的路我已经行尽了，当守的道我守住了。从此以后，有公义的冠冕为你留存。」（提后4:7-8）
离开美国太久，就觉得这种讽刺没啥意思了。因为我们天天在电视里就直接开骂了，就觉得很不过瘾，你就给我看这个？所以反过来，在美国待久了的人看我们这里的东西也会觉得，你就给我看这个？
硬核好莱坞左派拍出来的两年目睹之怪现状，充斥着真挚的傲慢和愤怒。虽然还是挺好看的，但问题就是战斗性和幽默感本来就不太兼容。
2021圣诞电影，世界走到今天，一切看起来荒诞的不切实际的画面都已经变成了现实的真相。人生一世，尽力就好，珍惜眼前人，和家人呆在一起。
如此肮脏的同时又如此动人，这一姿态必须也只能由好莱坞来做出。因为成功就是这样一个迷人又危险的双车道，越是在周身灿烂的喧哗中，就越是轻易失足掉入自毁的审判，而这一方程式本身又是根深蒂固地进入世界的明证。当然没什么好笑的，因为曾经笑得出声是因为人类尚有条件挥霍，而当下任意再多一个荒谬都不再让人有心忍耐。如果不能确凿地指出一条建立的小路，那么电影当然有权蹩脚且绝望地上演摧毁。
裹着喜剧外衣的大型政治灾难片，元旦贺岁喜剧一点也不喜，挺悲的其实。包括最后主角一桌坐在桌前等灰飞烟灭都很让人感到悲伤。另外这个片子最不合理的部分不应该是BASH的飞碟机计划都完蛋了，为什么太空环游竟然能成功呢。大表姐的演出令人眼前一亮，靓了一整部片子，这个妆发实在是太适合她了。
符合时宜的荒诞讽刺剧，说真话的人才疯了，套路太熟悉一切都很无奈。
所以美国白宫里的人真的有那么蠢吗？
這部把美帝價值觀噴到底朝天的片子，竟然讓某些國人覺得很不開心，真有意思。
各种低级黑，应该是我21年看的最后一个电影了，魔幻的现实太多。
所以 critical thinking 還是很重要的
太碎片化了，毫无逻辑可言，虽然有讽刺政治和时局的意味，但是太过无厘头，流于表面，不推荐观影。浪费了一大群大卡司。
apocalypse才是新的Zeitgeist啊，蠢病毒已经通过互联网感染了所有人
很多时候这甚至不是一部电影，而是一个人借助电影的媒介逼逼叨叨2个小时自己对整个社会的一坨不满；而你接受的意愿在很大程度上取决于你是否能接受这两个小时无比高强度的信息流的冲击以及“世界末日不是什么值得好笑的”。确实作为一部drama完全不好笑是有失偏颇的，但这却完完全全正是我的type
为什么评分那么低？讽刺效果拉满了，讽刺资本，流量，政治，贫富差距，舆论…
美国人拍了一部日本人不敢想的美国版“日本沉没”
把剧情设定上的“毁灭地球的彗星”替换成“变异到希腊字母快不够用的新冠病毒”，不仅毫无违和感且立马可以从科幻喜剧片“不要抬头”变成大型参与类纪录片——《不要戴口罩》。都不止是要素过多了，可以说说全是现实要素没有一丝剧情，导演编剧太有梗了，这完全就是一部反“传统美式英雄主义”的集大成之作，很多刻意玩梗的片段结合近两年疫情下的美国显得格外写实，果然现实往往比电影小说更加魔幻和真实呀，好几个镜头停顿我差点以为是在看美国新闻直播，一时间都不知道是好笑还是好哭。
剧情有点虎头蛇尾了。美国人不要抬头，千万不要，皇冠会掉。
